Audi nailed it with the 2010 Paris Concept, a true spiritual successor to the Quattro (capital Q), a car that should have been sold in base “Quattro” spec to compete with the Subaru WRX Sti and in “Sport Quattro” spec to compete with the Nissan GTR (both priced accordingly).

This Frankfurt concept is as bloated and ugly as the German business Execs who will buy them. Audi, why do you bother racing and promoting advanced lightweight cars if your going to produce 4000 lb rubbish like this for the consumer market?

I have a rather nice 4000 lb car of yours, a B6 4.2 S4 Avant. It’s fun and all but it drinks gas and chews through front tires at the track. So if you think you’ve overcome the mileage problem by making this concept a hybrid you’ve done nothing to address the fact that 4000 lbs doesn’t like going around a corner.

Do you honestly think you could take this porker back out on the WRC circuit??

Admit that you made a mistake and put the Paris Concept (with the 5 pot) into production so we can all buy them and believe that you still care about racing and then do just that…with this car…win the WRC, that would be the only worthy successor to the Ur Q.
